When the Light Is Fire by Heather D. Switzer Pdf
A host of international organizations promotes the belief that education will empower Kenya's Maasai girls. Yet the ideas that animate their campaigns often arise from presumptions that reduce the girls themselves to helpless victims of gender-related forms of oppression. Heather Switzer's interviews with over one hundred Kenyan Maasai schoolgirls challenge the widespread view of education as a silver bullet solution to global poverty. In their own voices, the girls offer incisive insights into their commitments, aspirations, and desires. Switzer weaves this ethnographic material into an astute analysis of historical literature, education and development documents, and theoretical literature. Massai schoolgirls express a particular knowledge about themselves and provocative hopes for their futures. Yet, as Switzer shows, new opportunities force them to face, and navigate, new vulnerabilities and insecurities within a society that is itself in flux.

Not illustrated. 1886 edition. Excerpt: ...as if they also mourned the dead; Then keenly sniffed the air, and barked and leaped About the woman's skirts. The children wept. Steps crackled on the leaves. And like a dart Straight aimed, flew Michael, straining Mary to his heart. LX. Lo, all her pent-up anguish, all her fears, Then broke their flood-gates in a storm of tears Upon her husband's shoulder; with her arms Locked closely round him, the fell night's alarms, The home in ashes laid, the sick and old Relentlessly thrust forth into the cold Autumnal night--yea, all the pain and trouble Seemed bearable to her, now that her heart was double. LXI. Few were his words. What comfort was in speech? The news had smitten Michael on the beach, Where late at night he landed. For a cloud Of densely rolling smoke hung like a shroud On the familiar cliffs and well-known bay, Till the bewildered mariners lost their way Even in broad noon, but won the shore at night. Piloted by the flames that flashed from vale and height. LXII. Oh, ghastly home-coming! Oh, cruel blow! To find their levelled walls and huts laid low; Their crofts destroyed, their stacks of fragrant hay Devoured of greedy flames or borne away By all the winds of heaven. Oh, harrowing sight! Sore labour's fruits all wasted in a night; The banished clansmen hurrying to the shore, To sound of pipes that wail, Farewell for evermore. LXTII. They fly and turn not on the hireling band, That unresisting drives them from their land. Dowered with the lion's strength, like lambs they go, For saith the preacher: "God will have it so. Therefore, lest worse befall them, lest they yell Hereafter from the burning pit of Hell, Let them in judgment for their sins go hence, Nor vainly strive, poor folk, against God's providence."

The Heather on Fire by Mathilde Blind Pdf
Excerpt from The Heather on Fire: A Tale of the Highland Clearances I seem to hear many a reader ask whether such atrocities as are described in "The Heather" on Fire have indeed been committed within the memory of this generation. Let him be assured that this is no fancy picture; that, on the contrary, the author's aim has been to soften some of the worst features of the heart-rending scenes which were of such frequent occurrence during the Highland Clearances. Many of them are too revolting for the purposes of art; for the ferocity shown by some of the factors and ground-officers employed by the landlords in evicting their inoffensive tenantry, can only be matched by the brutal excesses of victorious troops on a foreign soil.

Mathilde Blind: Selected Fin-de-Siècle Poetry and Prose by James Diedrick Pdf
Mathilde Blind’s contributions to the New Woman and Decadent movements in the 1880s and 1890s placed her at the centre of fin-de-siècle literary culture. She rose to prominence in the early 1870s, both as an expert on and proponent of the poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley and as one of the few women writers published in the Dark Blue (1871–73), an influential journal that featured the work of Britain’s leading Pre-Raphaelites and aesthetes. By the late 1880s, she had established close associations with key figures of England’s emergent Decadent communities, from Vernon Lee and Rosamund Marriott Watson to Oscar Wilde and Arthur Symons. When her Dramas in Miniature appeared in 1891, she was fusing aestheticism and Decadence so distinctively in her poetry that Symons evoked Charles Baudelaire in calling the dramatic monologues in the volume ‘flowers of evil’. Her career thus highlights the connections between mid-Victorian aestheticism and late-century Decadence. It also serves as an important corrective to the male-focused narratives that long dominated accounts of these movements. In addition, and because Blind was born in Germany of Jewish parents and part of a community of exiled European radicals, her poetry and prose alike are characterized by a transnational, cosmopolitan outlook that ranges across national borders and consistently engages with Continental writers and ideas. This new edition for the first time brings together the three major volumes of poetry Blind published between 1889 and 1895 alongside a critical introduction and explanatory notes. Because she was also an active reviewer and essayist throughout her career, it includes a selection of her reviews as well as her essay ‘Shelley’s View of Nature Contrasted with Darwin’s’, which serves as an important supplement to her 1889 volume The Ascent of Man. The edition also features a selection of critical responses to Blind’s writing by leading late-Victorian poets and critics.

Nothing Left to Burn by Heather Ezell Pdf
The autumn morning after sixteen-year-old Audrey Harper loses her virginity, she wakes to a loud, persistent knocking at her front door. Waiting for her are two firemen, there to let her know that the moment she's been dreading has arrived: the enormous wildfire sweeping through Orange County, California, is now dangerously close to her idyllic gated community of Coto de Caza, and it's time to evacuate. Over the course of the next twenty-four hours, as Audrey wrestles with the possibility of losing her family home, she also recalls her early, easy summer days with Brooks, the charming, passionate, but troubled volunteer firefighter who enchants Audrey--and who is just as enthralled by her. But as secrets from Brooks's dark past come to light, Audrey can't help but wonder if there's danger in the pull she feels--both toward this boy, and toward the fire burning in the distance.

Fire Phenomena and the Earth System by Claire M. Belcher Pdf
Fire plays a key role in Earth system processes. Wildfires influence the carbon cycle and the nutrient balance of our planet, and may even play a role in regulating the oxygen content of our atmosphere. The evolutionary history of plants has been intimately tied to fire and this in part explains the distribution of our ecosystems and their ability to withstand the effects of natural fires today. Fire Phenomena and the Earth System brings together the various subdisciplines within fire science to provide a synthesis of our understanding of the role of wildfire in the Earth system. The book shows how knowledge of fire phenomena and the nature of combustion of natural fuels can be used to understand modern wildfires, interpret fire events in the geological record and to understand the role of fire in a variety of Earth system processes. By bringing together chapters written by leading international researchers from a range of geological, environmental, chemical and engineering disciplines, the book will stimulate the exchange of ideas and knowledge across these subject areas. Fire Phenomena and the Earth System provides a truly interdisciplinary guide that can inform us about Earth’s past, present and beyond. Readership: Advanced students and researchers across a wide range of earth, environmental and life sciences, including biogeochemistry, paleoclimatology, atmospheric science, palaeontology and paleoecology, combustion science, ecology and forestry.
